Let's Talk About Make-Up

You've all heard me talking about it, so here is your Friday Night Make-Up Look for this Fall!!!

SN:  This is just for Friday night!  Your show make-up will have a few extras thrown in there so we step it up for contest in every way imaginable!

Here's what you're going to need:

The Urban Decay Electric Palette

A good liquid eyeliner in black

A kohl pencil, or other type of eyeliner pencil that smears easily, also in black

Black mascara - the bigger the lashes the better!

Bronzer / Brown-based blush for contour

A neutral, pink lip stick (neutral.... not nude)

Your preferred brow pencil / powder

***There are a number of good UD Electric Palette dupes on the market, but the original is still the best.  I cannot stress the importance of having this palette enough!!  I'll be using it for almost ALL of your make-up looks from here until... well.... the end of forever!!!

We're using Chrisspy's Electric Palette Tutorial to make this look happen.  Watch it here:

When we're doing looks that are this BOLD, its super important not to neglect your eyebrows!!!  If you aren't sure how to make them happen, you can check out the following tutorials.  Chrisspy is a CHAMP at eyebrow technique, so I've attached her most recent brow tutorial first.  If you're more of a novice with your eyebrows and aren't sure the gradient look is for you, I've also attached a couple of other tutorials to check out!  Whatever works for you works for me... just be sure they aren't left alone!!

Remember with Eyebrows that the distance you set them apart should be determined by your nose and how you want it to appear.  The closer your eyebrows are together, the smaller your nose appears.  The farther apart they are, the wider your nose looks.  Keep this in mind when determining what your eyebrow shape is and where it begins and ends.... just be sure they aren't TOO close or TOO far apart!

Here's one final Chrisspy video for those of you who aren't sure what contouring is or how it is done.  She's using all powders to contour, and is using Benefit's High Beam to highlight.  If you're interested in something different, YouTube the Kim Kardashian contour method to see another way of achieving the same effect.

Hopefully this will give you an idea of where to go and what to do from here!!!  Get out those mirrors and start practicing!!!  Remember that MOXIE is delivered to the judges and the audience from your FACE well before it is delivered with your body and equipment work!!!
